Media Center is built and tested on [https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ Debian Buster] in both 32 and 64bit flavours. |
|||
Media Center has the following general system requirements under Linux. |
|||
However Media Center has been shown to run without issue on numerous other distributions including |
|||
We don't require a X server or X hardware support on the machine running MC. |
|||
* [https://getfedora.org/ Fedora] |
|||
We require this: |
|||
* Debian derivatives such as [https://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] or [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Raspbian] (for the raspberry pi) |
|||
* libX11-6: installed size 1.5 megs |
|||
* [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jriver-media-center/ ArchLinux] |
|||
Details are available in the [https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/board,76.0.html Linux interact forum]. |
|||
The dependencies for this are: |
|||
* libX11-data: installed size 1.6 megs |
|||
* libxcb1: installed size .2 megs |
|||
* libxau6: installed size .1 megs |
|||
* libxdmcp6: installed size .1 megs |
|||
* libcurl3: installed size .1 megs (likely already there) |
|||
* lame: installed size: 1.2 megs |
|||
== Dependencies == |
|||
Total installed X11 size : 4.8 megs |
|||
For comparison, the current package size for MC (compressed) is 67 megs. |
|||
=== X === |
|||
You should be able to run with this minimal setup. The GUI should run over an ssh connection. |
|||
You must have an XServer to run MC. This can be achieved either by running X on on the machine running MC, via a remote ssh connection with X-Forwarding or by having the display exported to the connecting machine. |
|||
Runlevels are dependent on the distro. Mine is runlevel 2. Traditionally in unix runlevel 3 was GUI but the different distro makers have done this in disparate ways. Ubuntu and Debian don't use runlevels to determine whether or not the GUI is in use. |
|||
=== Desktop Environment === |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
I've run it on XFCE and Gnome. It should run on any desktop. No ideas about NAS's. Don't have a linux based one that I can log into. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
I can tell you that the current requirements are: |
|||
* X86 (32 bit) |
|||
* SSE2 |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
* lame >= 3.99 |
|||
* xfonts-75dpi |
|||
* xfonts-100dpi |
|||
* An ALSA device that supports S32_LE |
|||
=== Library dependencies === |
|||
I'd imagine one could run on other distro's (i.e. centos) by unpacking the deb and putting the contents into the right place IF the requirements listed above are met. |
|||
The following is for MediaCenter30 |

Distribution Support
Media Center is built and tested on Debian Buster in both 32 and 64bit flavours.
However Media Center has been shown to run without issue on numerous other distributions including
Details are available in the Linux interact forum.
Dependencies
X
You must have an XServer to run MC. This can be achieved either by running X on on the machine running MC, via a remote ssh connection with X-Forwarding or by having the display exported to the connecting machine.
